FACT SHEET Chemical Spill Procedures Despite the best efforts of lab researchers and personnel, accidents resulting in chemical releases do occur. For this reason it is important that laboratories have a spill response plan. A spill response plan should outline appropriate practices, procedures and the materials needed to properly contain and clean up a chemical spill. Planning for chemical spills in laboratories is a necessity. The following paragraph contains information to help labs create an effective spill control plan. Planning is one of the key components to any spill control plan. Before an individual begins work with chemicals, training should be conducted. Individuals should be trained on the hazards and properties of each chemical they work with. Training should also include how to clean up spills, the amount and location of spill clean-up materials, and the types of personal protective equipment its use. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are great sources of this information. A MSDS sheet should be kept for each chemical in the laboratory. Spill control materials such as clay based absorbent, vermiculite, and spill pads should be kept on hand. Proper personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye and face protection, tyvek aprons or suits should be worn for spill clean-ups. It is important to remember that the individual who caused the spill is ultimately responsible for prompt and proper cleanup.

Safety Services - Safety Bulletin 98/11/20 CHEMICAL SPILLS Chemical Spills Safety Services provides advice on the proper clean-up techniques and personal protective equipment which may be required. Some spills may be too large or too dangerous for laboratory personnel, in which case Safety Services will arrange to help with the spill clean up. Do not call Caretaking to clean up a chemical spill, their personnel are not properly trained to clean up laboratory chemical spills. Do not attempt to clean-up a chemical spill if you are unsure of the danger, do not have specific spill clean-up training, do not have proper equipment, or if highly toxic vapours or dusts are present. Neutralizers and absorbents for the chemicals in the laboratory must be present. In the event of a chemical spill: Warn personnel in the laboratory. If a volatile, flammable, or highly toxic material is spilled, have everybody extinguish flames and turn off spark-generating equipment and evacuate the laboratory immediately. If clothing is contaminated, remove it and use the emergency shower to rinse the affected areas. If contaminates are in your eyes rinse for at least 15 minutes at an eyewash station.

The cleanup of chemical spills should only be accomplished by knowledgeable and experienced people. Spill kits with instructions, absorbents, reactants, and protective equipment should be available to clean up minor spills. Three factors determine if a hazardous materials spill is a non-emergency or an emergency. How much was spilled - if the amount of the material spilled is more than one liter, it is considered a major spill and you should contact the Chemical Safety Office for assistance. What are the hazards of the material spilled - if the spill is less than one liter, but presents an immediate danger to health, safety, the environment, or is an immediate fire hazard, it is considered a major spill and you should follow Emergency Response Procedures for Chemical Spills.

CHEMICAL SPILLS Anticipate spills by having the appropriate safety equipment on hand. If a spill occurs, immediately alert personnel in the area and do what is necessary to protect life. If it is a small spill , your supervisor is responsible for cleaning up the spill or making sure that it is cleaned up properly. Confine or dike the spill to keep the area involved smaller and to protect floor drains. ( Whenever unsure how to handle a spill, contact the Safety Department at X8925 or X8843.) Use an absorbent material that will neutralize the spill, whenever possible. If the spilled chemical is flammable, extinguish all nearby flames and sources of ignition (such as brush type motors). Protect floor drains or other means for environmental release. Absorbents and spill socks may be placed around drains, as needed. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. For example, rubber gloves, goggles, booties and a lab coat. Place all spill clean-up material and residue into yellow hazardous waste bags or an appropriate container. You may use a dustpan and brush to scoop the spill residue into the container. Decontaminate the area with soap and water after cleanup. Seal bags or containers securely. Use strong tape on bags, and label the containers/bags with the chemical name(s) and as "spill debris." Bring the bag to the central stockroom for disposal. Make sure someone is there to accept it.

Chemical Spills Decrease Cape Town 4 July 2003 Sapa The number of accidents involving tankers carrying chemicals has decreased since 1999, Transport Minister Jeff Radebe said in a written reply to a question tabled in the National Assembly. Radebe said the worst years for chemical spills were in 2000 and 2001 when 92 accidents were recorded for both years. Since 1999 until presently the largest number of chemical spill have occurred in KwaZulu-Natal with 84 spills, followed by 52 incidents in Gauteng and 32 in Limpopo. During November 2002 in Johannesburg, 20,000 litres of fuel was destroyed when the tanker carrying it spun out of control. A fire was started when lightning struck some of the fuel that had spilled. Radebe said the department was in the process of appointing an inspectorate to investigate chemical spills. The inspectorate would initially comprise 17 inspectors. "An extensive training programme has already been developed and it is envisaged that the inspectorate will commence training during September this year," he said. He said large chemical producers, manufacturers and suppliers have introduced a Safety Quality Assessment System to evaluate the performance of transport operators.

Home People Publications Norman Landfill ... Links Home Organic Compounds in Near-Surface Environments: Understanding Fate in a Changing Biogeochemical Landscape Principal Investigators: Isabelle M. Cozzarelli and Robert P. Eganhouse In order to predict the short- and long-term fate of toxic organic substances in a variety of aquatic environments, it is necessary to determine the physical properties of these compounds and to understand their biogeochemical fate. The transport, sorption, volatilization, and biodegradation of organic compounds are investigated in a variety of hydrogeologic environments. The relative importance of different removal processes and the geochemical alterations resulting from organic-inorganic interactions are quantified under different environmental conditions and incorporated into conceptual and numerical models. The approach involves long-term environmental studies of biogeochemical processes in contaminated aquifers, coupled with laboratory studies aimed at identifying specific pieces of the complicated fate and transport puzzle.
